Following the launch (May 16th) of the FIBR report, "Artificial Intelligence: Practical Superpowers," we are hosting a follow-up webinar to present the paper and its insights. As one of the first reports that looks at AI applied to financial services in Africa, this webinar is for fintech companies and FSPs in Africa, that might be interested or looking to move into AI. By presenting insights from the report and having a panel discussion, we seek to create awareness around the real-use cases of AI for FSPs that can augment the ability of companies to do business better. Panelists: Matt Grasser, Deputy Director of Inclusive Fintech BFA Qiuyan Xu, Chief Data Scientist Cignifi Andrea Ottina, Chief Business Development Officer Access Tanzania Sheel Mohot, Partner 500 startups Moderated by Jane del Ser, Insights & Influence at BFA Related content: Read the report - http://bfa.works/ai-launch An Experimental Gallery of AI Applications for MSMEs and PAYGo - FIBR.AI FIBR stands for Financial Inclusion on Business Runways and aims to learn how to transform emerging business data about low-income individuals and link them to inclusive financial services to deepen financial inclusion and its impact.

The history of data science, machine learning, and artificial Intelligence is long, but it's only recently that technology companies - both start-ups and tech giants across the globe have begun to get excited about it… Why? With the arrival of cloud computing and multi-core machines - we have enough compute capacity at our disposal to churn large volumes of data and dig out the hidden patterns contained in these mountains of data. This technology comes in handy, especially when handling Big Data. Today, companies collect and accumulate data at massive, unmanageable rates for website clicks, credit card transactions, GPS trails, social media interactions, and so on. And it is becoming a challenge to process all the valuable information and use it in a meaningful way.

We introduce a method for following high-level navigation instructions by mapping directly from images, instructions and pose estimates to continuous low-level velocity commands for real-time control. The Grounded Semantic Mapping Network (GSMN) is a fully-differentiable neural network architecture that builds an explicit semantic map in the world reference frame by incorporating a pinhole camera projection model within the network. The information stored in the map is learned from experience, while the local-to-world transformation is computed explicitly. We train the model using DAggerFM, a modified variant of DAgger that trades tabular convergence guarantees for improved training speed and memory use. We test GSMN in virtual environments on a realistic quadcopter simulator and show that incorporating an explicit mapping and grounding modules allows GSMN to outperform strong neural baselines and almost reach an expert policy performance. Finally, we analyze the learned map representations and show that using an explicit map leads to an interpretable instruction-following model.

Active Learning (AL) requires learners to retrain the classifier with the minimum human supervisions or labeling in the unlabeled data pool when the current training set is not enough. However, general AL sampling strategies with a few label support inevitably suffer from performance decrease. To identify which samples determine the performance of the classification hyperplane, Core Vector Machine (CVM) and Ball Vector Machine (BVM) use the geometry boundary points of each Minimum Enclosing Ball (MEB) to train the classification hypothesis. Their theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the improved classifiers not only converge faster but also obtain higher accuracies compared with Support Vector Machine (SVM). Inspired by this, we formulate the cluster boundary point detection issue as the MEB boundary problem after presenting a convincing proof of this observation. Because the enclosing ball boundary may have a high fitting ratio when it can not enclose the class tightly, we split the global ball problem into two kinds of small Local Minimum Enclosing Ball (LMEB): Boundary ball (B-ball) and Core ball (C-ball) to tackle its over-fitting problem. Through calculating the update of radius and center when extending the local ball space, we adopt the minimum update ball to obtain the geometric update optimization scheme of B-ball and C-ball. After proving their update relationship, we design the LEB (Local Enclosing Ball) algorithm using centers of B-ball of each class to detect the enclosing ball boundary points for AL sampling. Experimental and theoretical studies have shown that the classification accuracy, time, and space performance of our proposed method significantly are superior than the state-of-the-art algorithms.

When I was a graduate student in cognitive science, I spent countless hours poring over videos and transcripts of natural language, looking for patterns in the data that could help me better understand how people learn words, concepts, and categories. We support the company's mission to make AI beneficial to everyone by helping educate Googlers and others on how to build machine learning (ML) models that look for patterns in data in order to solve a variety of problems. Back in February, our team shared our internal Machine Learning Crash Course (MLCC) with the world to help more developers learn to use ML. Since then, we've heard from many people who are hungry for more ML education. In particular, you want to learn from teams who have built and deployed ML models.

Prerequisites: No prerequisites, knowledge of some undergraduate level mathematics would help but is not mandatory. Working knowledge of Python would be helpful if you want to run the source code that is provided. Taught by a Stanford-educated, ex-Googler and an IIT, IIM - educated ex-Flipkart lead analyst. This team has decades of practical experience in quant trading, analytics and e-commerce. The course is shy but confident: It is authoritative, drawn from decades of practical experience -but shies away from needlessly complicating stuff.

Linear algebra is an important foundation area of mathematics required for achieving a deeper understanding of machine learning algorithms. Below is the 3 step process that you can use to get up-to-speed with linear algebra for machine learning, fast. You can see all linear algebra posts here. Below is a selection of some of the most popular tutorials. Machine learning is about machine learning algorithms.

Over the past couple years, it has become super easy to capture photos and videos on jobsites; now with Smartvid.io

We'll find weather data, explore it and get it in order. We'll use the modeling tools of deseasonalization and linear regression to predict temperatures at the beach. We'll use the statistical tools of autoregression and confidence intervals to guide our feature selection and apply our results. And we'll code the whole thing up from scratch in python and organize it to be easy to read and easy to extend. When you're done, you'll have a standalone weather predictor that can estimate high temperatures three days from now.
